Book of the Week #35

My pick of the week:

Book: The Awakening

Author: Apryl Baker

Snap...crackle...pop. The sounds of bones breaking and shifting and of muscles tearing haunt Alexandria Reed.

For
the last five years, Alex has been locked up at Compton Academy, a
"school" for the emotionally challenged. She calls it the politically
correct way of saying they’re all nuts and Alex has no doubts she’s
insane. She comes home to Jacob's Fork to face the demons she left
behind her after deceiving the doctors into believing she’s well. Soon
after her arrival home though, news of her estranged mother's death
brings her uncle back into her life and she and her brother, Jason,
learn a terrifying secret about their family.

After questioning
her sanity for the last ten years, she discovers the night terrors she's
suffered for so long has become a reality. She and her brother are now
being hunted because of the secret her family has killed to protect. Her
world has been turned upside down, every belief she held true
destroyed. Aided by her new friends, who have some dark secrets
themselves, can she and Jason survive long enough to figure out the
secret behind the secret?
